Polka dots cake in black, white and yellow

To me, there is cute...and there is Ellie cute.
I absolutely adore the way she has a very clear idea of what she wants, with no hesitation and drama. I often joke that she is such a low maintenance kid, but it is true. She very rarely asks for things but when she does, she is very particular. However, when she asked for "fashionable pool party", naturally I had concerns. In general, "fashionable" and "pool party" don't go well together in my vocabulary, but Ellie assured me it will be "spectacular". If there is one thing that I was sure of it's that if there is one person that can pull that off, it's definitely Ellie.

So, we began with the preparations. In Bulgaria we have a saying that sometimes you buy a button and then sew a coat to match it, in the case of Ellie's B-day party it was quite similar.

We got the dress first

and then coordinated everything to it:

- The invitations

- The cake

- The table

Believe it or not these napkins were chosen from 3 different kinds of black napkins with white dots " because they are the right size". ( eye roll here)

- The balloons

It was a beautiful summer day, a fantastically fun pool party, and our amazing girl turned 6 just like that.

Hi Tammi, I apologize for the problem you have experienced, however it has nothing to do with my blog's set up, rather with Blogger policy. If you would like to pin pictures from blogs on Blogger, you can. The way to do it is to click on each picture separate and ones it opens, then you can pin it. I have all of the pictures on my Pinterest page, you can re-pin them if you like ( http://pinterest.com/akochneva/)Again, I apologize.
